Hi, everyone! I'm Lily, an ESL teacher living and working in Thailand. I was looking for some way out of the slow lane and found out that I am actually on the sidewalk. That sucks to realize. I finished the book just yesterday and can't stop feeling the bitter aftertaste of it. I see how much younger girls, experts in different fields, earn my salary in one working day, and I'm happy for them but unhappy for myself. I don't enjoy teaching and don't see myself doing all that teaching-related stuff (like courses, videos, etc.) in the future. But the problem is I can't do anything besides that, as all my life I have worked mostly in Asia as an ESL teacher. According to the book, I have to look for some problems/struggles/complaints that people have; however, I can't find anything worthy. I hope I will find some seeds of wisdom here. That's my introduction. Have a good day!
